Samsung hopes the Galaxy Note 4 will counter Apple's new iPhone 6 which is also due for launch in September.

"Samsung will hold an event in Berlin to announce the Note 4 on Sep 3," a company executive was quoted as saying.

The South Korean company hopes that the Note 4 will help it get a fresh momentum to lift its handset business at a time when the company is being threatened by the rise of Chinese budget handset manufacturers.
